Israel Returns 'Unrecognizable' Bodies—Names Optional
The Israeli military has transferred hundreds of Palestinian bodies back to Gaza, many so disfigured they're unidentifiable. This isn't just a byproduct of conflict; it's a grim echo of past practices. This 'return' of bodies without names or records as reported by Al Jazeera follows a long legacy, going back decades, of Israel withholding or mistreating Palestinian remains, often for 'bargaining
chips' or to prevent national funerals. It's a method of collective punishment—extending to the dead and their families. This isn't merely 'chaos'; it's a consistent, if underreported, strategy of control and dehumanization by the Netanyahu government. Who needs names when you've already defined an entire population out of existence?
